These classic sets return for an encore week in the Magic Online Store, complete with release-style Sealed Deck Events! There is one small difference from the earlier release events, however. These events only require 2 Event Tickets to join! Check the Magic Online Premier Events room for times.

Finally, during the Community Appreciation Week we will double all MOPR points you earn for playing in events. That's right, each event you play in (beginning after the downtime July 21 until the downtime on July 28) will give you twice as many points! Have fun and thank you!
